Mac2Txt is an emulator keyboard macro file converter for converting macro into
|
|
text files and vice versa. This allow to edit the keyboard macro files with a
|
|
simple text editor.
|
|
|
|
1) Commands
|
|
|
|
The text file knows three commands:
|
|
|
|
P <out> <in>
|
|
R <out> <in>
|
|
T <delay>
|
|
|
|
1.1) <P>ress key
|
|
|
|
P <out> <in>
|
|
|
|
means pressing a key, where <out> is the out and <in> is the in code of the key.
|
|
Please look into the latest KML description available at
|
|
http://privat.swol.de/ChristophGiesselink/ for the calculator dependent keyboard
|
|
Out/In codes.
|
|
|
|
1.2) <R>elease key
|
|
|
|
R <out> <in>
|
|
|
|
means releasing a key, where <out> is the out and <in> is the in code of the
|
|
key.
|
|
|
|
1.3) <T>ime for delay
|
|
|
|
T <delay>
|
|
|
|
means waiting <delay> milliseconds. You have delay times between every key state
|
|
changing especially when you have recorded them on an emulator. When the time
|
|
information is missing behind a <P>ress or <R>elease command, the emulator is
|
|
using the default time of the keyboard macro settings in macro replay mode. So
|
|
it's a good idea to use "T 0" if you want to have no delay. In the other case,
|
|
if you don't want to switch between 'Real' and 'Manual' Replay speed and want to
|
|
have always 'Manual' speed it's a good idea to remove all time information in
|
|
the text file. The "T" command is alway ignored on 'Manual' Replay speed.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
|
|
T 821
|
|
P 0 32767
|
|
T 70
|
|
R 0 32767
|
|
|
|
for waiting 821 ms, pressing the <ON> key, waiting for 70 ms and finally
|
|
releasing the <ON> key again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Keyboard macro file format (MAC)
|
|
|
|
All numbers are coded in the little endian format (LSB first).
|
|
|
|
2.1) Header
|
|
|
|
Every keyboard macro file begins with the string "Emu-KeyMacro".
|
|
|
|
2.2) Extended Header
|
|
|
|
The string header is followed by a reserved 4 byte length information number for
|
|
the extended header length and the extended header data. At this time the
|
|
extended header length information must be zero followed by no data.
|
|
|
|
2.3) Data
|
|
|
|
Each data field is coded in a 32 bit number.
|
|
|
|
2.3.1) Time data
|
|
|
|
Bit 31 = 1
|
|
Bit 30 - 0 = time information in ms (2^31 ms ~ 25 days)
|
|
|
|
2.3.2) Key data
|
|
|
|
Bit 31 = 0
|
|
Bit 30 - 24 = 0000000 = Release key
|
|
Bit 30 - 24 = 0000001 = Press key
|
|
Bit 23 - 16 = byte with the <out> code
|
|
Bit 15 - 0 = word with the <in> code
|
|
|
|
All other not listed bit combinations of Bit 30 - 24 are forbidden and reserved
|
|
for further use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) Program description
|
|
|
|
You have a source and destination edit field for holding the source and
|
|
destination file names. So the <Browse> button for the source edit field is
|
|
calling a "Open" file dialog, where the <Browse> button for the destination edit
|
|
field is calling a "Save As" file dialog.
|
|
|
|
The button <Src -> Dest> now converts the file in "source" to the opposite
|
|
format and save the result in "destination". For converting back to the original
|
|
format you can use the button <Dest -> Src>. This method is very flexible for
|
|
any conversation, for your own convenience you should only remember that there's
|
|
an "Open" file dialog behind Source-Browse button and a "Save As" file dialog
|
|
behind Destination-Browse button.
|
|
|
|
Be careful, both convert buttons work without request and will overwrite the
|
|
destination immediately!
